This 11" X 12" single sheet German paper advent calendar shows Santa dashing along with his sleigh still bearing gifts as the sun rises on Christmas Day.   The procession, including gnomes on skis, gnomes in a sleigh,  and an angel, swiftly moves through the fresh snow as the forest animals join the festive caravan.  The forest is decorated for Christmas with Lebkuchen or Gingerbread, stars and garlands.

The calendar indicates that it was made in West Germany.  

This calendar was purchased in the 1990s at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan.  It has never been used and is sealed in its original wrapping.
